Title:
Incorrectly described arguments to kill
Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
This new bug reporting process is very confusing to me, so apologies
if I just filed something useless. All I wanted to do was simply state
an inaccuracy in the manpage of kill. It describes the argument --list
for listing available signals, which does not work:
$ kill --list
kill: unknown signal: SIG-LIST
kill: type kill -l for a list of signals
`kill -l` does work correctly. This bug does not seem to exist in
upstream util-linux, so perhaps the version in Ubuntu 14.04 is just
lagging a little. Let me know if more information is required.
